Let's see... to answer your questions real quick...the weather has been awesome lately. I havent worn my coat for a whole week!

I went to Plovdiv on Tuesday and Wednesday for Zone conference and it was really nice. President and Sister Roth said some really insightful things. Oh and my district (the 4 of us) sang a song for a musical number! It was fun for us, but not too sure about the people who had to listen... we got to sleep in a Hotel! It was pretty nice. It had carpet! I miss carpet...I don't know why, but pretty much no one has carpet in Bulgaria.

Oh and I went to McDonalds! It was a pretty big deal because they only have them in big cities. Plus, they are so much nicer here. McDonalds is a nice place to here...unlike in America.

Let's see... Oh and yesterday we had a special Conference because President and Sis. Roth came to speak. It was great. The members were so excited. They were on their best behavior and they cleaned the church so well. So that was really nice. Oh and their daughter came and was visiting them for a week from Austria. I got to talk with her for a bit and she is pretty cool. She told me they are from the same place that The Sound of Music is! I thought that was so cool!

We are trying to do a lot more contacting because some of the investigators we did have fell of the face of the earth and the ones that we do have arent really progressing very much. It is pretty hard but we are trying to find a lot more people to teach! Its kinda funny...one of the ladies we teach, she really likes our lessons and then when we finish she says, "My friends don't know about this! I've gotta tell them about what you guys taught me!" Her "other friends" are the Jehovah witnesses...It's pretty funny. So she meets with us and them...so yeah.

Oh this friday we get transfer calls. I am pretty nervous about it because I really want to stay with Sis. Child. But we will see what happens. I am sure anything will be great.

Tomorrow we have passport work so we are taking a bus into Sofia around 3:30 today and willget there around 8:30 its a fun 5 hour drive on a yummy smelly bus :) (That's another weird thing here or maybe in Europe but people don't shower here...maybe 1 time a week...maybe. So you can imagine the wonderful smells...yum.) But before we go we are going to go up a mountain (Carindilla) on a ski lift here in the city. It's a pretty popular place for the locals here. It should be pretty fun!

Well thanks for the updates and everything! I love you. :)

Have a great week!

Love,
Jodi

p.s. congrats on the car! I'm not gonna lie...I laughed...a lot. But I am glad you like it :)
